 To add some more context: Documentation for the Greenbone Source Edition 
 can be found here:
 
 https://greenbone.github.io/docs/
 
 The software relies on the usual libraries (pcap, gnutls, ...) and is 
 available as source only, so it would be a perfect fit for pkgsrc.
 
 I tried building the first part (gvm-libs) on NetBSD 9.2, but some IPv6 
 structures have minor differences between Linux and NetBSD, which are 
 beyond my grasp. But for someone with experience in porting this kind of 
 software, this should be doable.
